This boss is a 2-phase repeating encounter. Phase 1 ends when she reaches 75%, Phase 2 ends when the adds that are summoned are killed, and the cycle repeats back to Phase 1 ending again at 50% followed by another set of Phase 2 adds. On the third instance of Phase 1, Queen Araneae will not retreat or summon any more adds.

During each Phase 2, Araneae will skitter off of the combat area. During this time, several spider adds will enter the arena attacking players. This phase ends when the Spider adds are killed off. Araneae will drop down to the combat area in one of three areas (North, South, and East)

PRO TIP: If your damage output is very high, it is possible to kill Queen Araneae while she is escaping to begin a Phase 2. Even if your damage is not very high, continue to damage her until she is completely gone from the combat zone.
